Squier Bullet Mustang HH Electric Guitar Imperial Blue

Most Liked Positive Review

Really fun/cheap guitar!

This is a really fun guitar. Sure, it's a little rough around the edges, but that can be corrected pretty easy. First off, I bought this guitar as a mod platform/project. That is, I knew I would be making some modifications to it to make it more fun to play. Out of the box and before modding, it was very much playable. The frets were a little sharp. The neck was a little rough. I found the the original tuners would lose tune (slipping?). Other than that, it was fun to play right out of the box! I would recommend it. If you're up for some light modding, you can really make this a super fun guitar to play, Personally, I found these the most important: 1) Replace the tuners. I bought some cheap locking tuners (Musiclily Pro 6). The guitar stays in perfect tune now. 2) Sand/refinish the neck. Easy to do. Finnish it with True-oil / gun stock oil. The neck now feels SO much better! While you're there, polish and file down those sharp frets. 3) New bone nut. This may sound like a good bit of effort but it's really not. It took me a couple of evenings to do everything. I also shielded the guitar electronics cavity, replaced a capacitor, put on new roller string trees, In fact, I pretty much followed the "Guitar Geeks" guide and it was easy and fun. You can watch his rebuilding of a Squier Mustang on youtube! Search for "guitar geek Squier Bullet Mustang Modification". I just bought another one of these guitars for my daughter. I plan on doing the same modifications with her help this time. For a guitar at this price and play-ability, it's a no brainier.
